I hit that ackward stage about a year and a half ago. i swept them to the side, ended up like them soo much i kept my bangs lol. i look like a little kid with banges, but i do ponytails most day, and no bangs is too harsh for my face.

try a side sweep, it will work for a bit, and you might just like that better than none at all.

Can I just say….I was going to call you a name here because I have the galloping greedy gimme’s on the Wollmeise, but I decided to restrain myself and tell you what lovely yarn your friend sent you from Germany.

Like the hair color a lot. I need to do the whole henna thing so I have purty hair like Wendy.

Oh my. I’m giggling imagining all the fun you’re having building all those little forts and pyramids. That yarn is so beautiful.

As is your hair. I agree with the others who have complimented your hair colour. Beautiful. And I know the pain of growing out a fringe (I’m an Aussie. I’ll call bangs a fringe if i want to!). It will all be worth it in the end. (and if not, you can always cut it off again, that’s the beauty of it. It may take a while but mostly hair grows back. I wish Wollmeise did that!)

There seems to be something about the approach of winter that prompts women to grow out their bangs. I only wish mine were as luxuriant as yours. 🙂

Oooooookay, I’m back from being picked up off the floor. Just look at all that green-ness-ess-es-s!!! Can Johanne be my friend too, pretty please? Next holiday, my order will be lighter than Wendy’s as I can take it in lace weight… :oP

Weeping, weeping…between your post and Johanne’s, I’m somewhere between jealousy and awe…and I can’t wait to see what you do with some of those lovely skeins (if you ever are ready to take down your Wollmeise forts and pyramids and make them into something else)!

How did you not become overwhelmed by the fiber fumes? All that Wollmeise, I’d have clutched it to my chest like a favorite teddy bear. Lucy must be jealous that you played with the yarn all evening instead of her!

Omg! What beautiful yarn.
Yes, your bangs are long. My daughter is contemplating getting bangs again. I said no. She is ten and I can say so. It took too long to grow out and she was going crazy when she had them.

Oooh, shipping instead of hand-carrying…now there’s an idea. I’m so pleased for your bounty! It’s hard to even imagine a whole shop surrounded by such loveliness – I’ll be there in two weeks – even harder to imagine! I look forward to seeing all the beautiful FO’s from your beautiful yarn – and we appreciate Johanne providing you with more creative inspiration!

I hate that stage of bang growth! As soon as I can, I start frenchbraiding the wisps of bangs and barrette them back. But when my son and husband grew theirs out, that just didn’t work…we used a lot of gel on them, and they looked awful for a while. I French braided them, too, as soon as the bangs could reach the back of their heads (long before it went into their pony tails).

good Luck with the bangs.
I have never seen Wollneise yarn. I really must be shopping in the wrong places or I have never ventured down that lane. have a good day and thanks for opening a new yarn for me. cecilia

I’m drooling over that yarnie bounty. That is just glorious. I recently won a skein of this coveted yarn and I’m going to probably cart it around everywhere petting it for a week or more before even breaking into it.

I solved the awkward bang problem by keeping my hair short. I get instead the too long to style problem, but I look a 100 times better with short hair. At least a 100 times better.

Nice box! My KF Tommiann’s hubby is in Wiesbaden (sp?), and we’re trying to convince him that he should drive down to WM store some weekend to buy Tommiann some yarn. She goes to visit every now and then so maybe he’ll take her next time she goes and she’ll share with me.

I have a knitting friend who had to travel to Germany on business last month. The bright spot of her trip was to the WM shop – a wonder of color, she says! She was kind enough to bring back yarn for me and a few other friends. I guess I’ll have to return the favor when I travel to a musk ox farm next year…. 🙂

Oh, the yarn is beautiful! I’ve never had the opportunity to see let alone purchase Wollmeise, but of course I’m going to have to order some at some point because of all these rave reviews! As for bangs growing out: as someone who has gone through the roller-coaster of hair styles many times in the last few years, and as a person who is growing their bangs out (again) I have to report that I am clearly losing my tolerance for dramatic shifts in hair length. The awkward bang phase is lasting a lot longer this time around. Good luck!

I have never used, or even touched Wollmeise yarn, but I keep reading about it every blog I visit, almost. I guess one of these days I’m going to have to try some for myself, just so I know what all the fuss is about. I will say, the colors are truly yummy. 🙂
